We had drove all day through the highlands in the rain. We arrived and Chris booked us in. Chris carried out luggage up three flights of stairs However there was a glitch with the heat to our room after several trips and several tries we were immediately upgraded to a first floor suit Chris and the team made our stay in Oban wonderful I'm very grateful

We arrived early on the train and hoped that there would be a reception area to store our bags, but it wasn’t open until 3 pm check-in time. Bed was comfortable. Old rooms but clean.

The room and areas were fine. The reception was poor. It would have been wonderful if someone would have been at reception or at the pub area to greet us when we arrived. And if we could have left our bags while seeing the town.

Property is alright but they were inflexible about things like leaving baggage and being able to hang around after the very early checkout. Could have also been friendlier.

Scary stairs, no lift

Third floor, spiral staircase, no elevator. Pre-booking information should give these warnings. We are 72 and 83 years old and had to take those stairs very slowly, holding onto the rail with two hands, to be sure to avoid falling. Breakfast service comes in a paper bag outside the door at 7:30. Rooms are drab. No washcloth provided. The hotel is a block away from the main shopping and dining street, and that possibly justifies the rate, but I cannot recommend this property to weary travelers.
This was taken from the landing at the top of the second level of the staircase. The man is over 6 feet tall.

Very unique property, close to a diverse array of dining options. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are a wee bit on the tiny side, with winding stairs to get to them, but the staff does offer to help with your bags. Most importantly, they were clean.The complimentary sack breakfasts left at our door were perfect. The bar area was neat and staff very friendly there as well. Parking wasn't easy to get to, but worked out fine.

Staff was very friendly and while there is no food on the property, there are many establishments within walking distance. They have a great bar downstairs and we had a great time hanging out and listening to the many local musicians who wandered in and played. One of the highlights of our trip!
